Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 at the NRG Stadium on Wednesday night, thanks to goals from Jude Bellingham and Joselu. For the most part, the game was fairly balanced, with the English side having more shots on goal. The Spanish defense, on the other hand, was excellent.
Carlo Ancelotti addressed the press following his team’s success on the night, covering issues ranging from Casemiro to Jude Bellingham. Here are some key points from his press conference.
The manager opened his discussion with a rapid recap of the team’s performance on the night, emphasizing that the first-half performance was superior to the second.
“We played well, especially in the first half.” We’ve played and defended well. “The second part was more controlled, but with a positivŅ½Ā attitude and commitment,” he explained.
“We have a team that is both physically and technically strong. The squad is incredibly good and has gotten better with the new signings. We are finished.”
Despite having won everything, Real Madrid rŅ½mains grounded. In his interview, the manager emphasized this point and stated that managing the squad was not difficult.
“We have a team without egos, and managing the locker room is very simple.” The team is fine, with a positivŅ½Ā culture and dedicated members. We want to work hard to get the season off to a strong start.”
Finally, the Real Madrid coach mentioned Casemiro, a club legend who is currently playing for the opposition. The Brazilian midfielder played for Erik Ten Hag’s team for nearly 60 minutes, and Ancelotti insisted that he would always be a Real Madrid player.
“We adore him, and he is a Real Madrid legend to us, and he is still a Real Madrid player.”
